Tech Platform Cooperatives, Food, and the Sharing Economy | January 11, 2017




Transform Finance Investor Network Webinar Recordings show

Summary: Home cooks – largely immigrants and at-home parents from communities of color – are generally cut off from the food industry, or exploited by it. Tech platforms can offer an alternative entry point. With this webinar we explore the topic of platform cooperativism, or the shared ownership of tech platforms so far dominated by VC investors, by looking at Josephine, a food and labor justice organization that empowers home cooks to sell meals to their neighbors and communities.
